My theory on this is thatyou shouldPP to get the feeling or look you saw when you took the picture. It should be true to what made you take the photo. The other option in my mind is to go overboard and make something overdone enough that it is not confused with reality. People don't like to be fooled by a picture.


"Wow that's beautiful, the colors are so vivid. Did you photoshop it to look that way?" "Yes" "Oh...ok"


I prefer landscapes and portraits, and those both often are best processed with the less is more mentality.
